Lavinia smiled gently with a small sigh and nodded. "Course sweetheart...just...remember that okay..."

Lavinia smiled softly, running a hand through his dark locks. "Luke...i'm not gonna be around forever...we already know that my days here are numbered...but sweetheart if there's one piece of advice I want to leave you with...its to always be confident with girls and the ones you love...it may hurt to tell someone you love them and find out those feelings arn't recipricated back...but its hurts more to wonder what kind of life you could have had but know you can't because you were too shy to do anything about it..."

Lavinia sighed softly "I'm not a mind reader Luke...I can't tell you that...but she might have done...you don't know until you ask and are honest with each other..."

"I know Luke...but that was a long time ago...this is now..." She said softly.

"Have you ever asked her?" She enquired softly. "Sometimes, the best person in the world for you can be sitting right in front of your eyes...and yet you don't do anything because either you both think the other doesn't feel the same way...or something happens that means you just can't be together...and suddenly you realize your just too late..."

Lavinia bit her lip softly, nodding slightly. "Well...then i recon you gotta decide...what it is you want to do about those feelings..."

Lavinia nodded softly, rubbing his arm a little. "How do you feel about her..."

Lavinia smiled softly, slipping an arm around his shoulder. "You think?"

Lavinia nodded softly. "Any particular reason why you're worried about her more than any other girl that would run out the school doors cryin'..."

Lavinia however refused to let him go, sitting him down on the couch. "Luke...i'm not going to let you go and mope in your room...now Bo's not here...nor is your Uncle...just talk to me..."

Lavinia regarded him for a minute, putting down her knife and fork and getting him down from the table, leading him to the lounge. "No your not...come on talk to me..."

Lavinia looked to him, frowning slightly. "You feelin' ókay?"

Lavinia nodded, not saying anything more on the matter. She knew Luke had to learn some things for himself, especially when it came to dealing with women.

"Well just because she doesn't want you there now doesn't mean she'll feel the same way tomorrow..."

"Alright alright...but still...everyone gets frustrated and the coach has a whole team to deal with...why not get some one on one coaching for Jenni and be there to make sure things dont get out of hand...offer her some support..." Lavinia reasoned gently.

Lavinia nodded, thinking some things over. She gathered that Luke was talking about something to do with Jenni's gymnastics. "Well...why not get the coach to come along an' go an' support Jenni' instead..."

Lavinia nodded, swallowing down what was in her mouth before saying. "So...what are you plannin' on doin' now..."

Lavinia nodded. "So why did ya storm in earlier mutterin' about how awful girls are..."

Lavinia settled down beside him and started to eat her own food. "So what's going on with you an' Jenni..."

Lavinia nodded, placing a plate in front of him. "Come on eat up...it'll be ok you'll see..."

Lavinia sighed and put the plate down on the table, crossing over and hugging Luke softly. "Don't worry...he's probably just gone for a walk...or to water bomb something...you know he does that when he gets angry..."

"Missing?! What d'ya mean missing!" Lavinia asked, near dropping the thing she was carrying.

Lavinia looked to him, seeing Jesse driving away from the farm a little quickly. "What's going on Luke?"

Jesse shook his head as Luke trudged inside before hopping into his truck and heading out to find Bo.

Jesse quickly grabbed Luke's shoulder and pulled him back. "Ah now Luke...you leave him alone...he's obviously gone for a reason an' the last thing I want is for you to go find him only to have an argument an' end up hurtin' each other. You go eat your dinner, I'LL go find Bo."
